About Zakiya
LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 3 years of clinical experience, Zakiya Bircher focuses on stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and relationship and family concerns. She works with people facing depression, bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, and workplace or career stress. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Zakiya draws mainly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, with mindfulness practices added as useful skills. In session she helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to test what works. She uses short, goal-oriented steps when a fast practical shift is needed and mindfulness exercises to build awareness and calm.
Before her current work she spent many years in schools and education. That background informs her focus on young adult issues, parenting struggles, blended family dynamics, and school-related stress. She also addresses abandonment, impulsivity, forgiveness, and grief in individual sessions.
Zakiya aims for straightforward conversations. She listens and then helps set clear targets. Sessions may include skill practice, thought records, brief experiments, and focused problem-solving.
People often seek her help for sleep problems, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, and relationship strain. She also works with women’s issues, workplace challenges, and people processing major life changes. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches shape online sessions
CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In online sessions this looks like identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and reviewing what changed. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps toward a clear goal. Sessions concentrate on what a client wants to happen next and on building practical strategies to get there. This approach is helpful for workplace issues, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.
Mindfulness Therapy adds brief practices to increase present-moment awareness and calm. These exercises are taught and practiced in session and then adapted for daily life to help with stress, anger, and compassion fatigue.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and adjust methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together over the first few sessions as progress and fit become clear.
Session format details were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or caregiving by eliminating travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up is helpful, or video work when face-to-face interaction matters for skill practice.
